TEAMS YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR IN IPL 2019

Indian Premier League is the best possible combination of glamour and sports. It has all the elements of entertainment, excitement, action, suspense and superstars. After a series of a successful run for the past 11 years, it is coming back for the 12th edition this year.

However, amidst the glitz and glamour, at the end of the day, it is just a sporting event. With most of the major cities and states of India having their own teams, it even gets personal for most of the fans. Hence, it showcases obvious anticipation and enthusiasm when it comes to who will be the IPL winners.

Even though a look at the previous IPL’s winners list might be of some help, it will not give you an entire picture as the teams are very dynamic in this tournament. The team players keep changing almost every season. The Chennai Super Kings team and Mumbai Indians team are definitely one of the frontrunners to the trophy.

In this year’s IPL tournament, eight teams are up for the battle to grab the trophy. Let’s look at the list of teams playing this season before we dwell into the crowd favourites for the win:

●Chennai Super Kings

●Delhi Capitals

●Kings XI Punjab

●Kolkata Knight Riders

●Mumbai Indians

●Rajasthan Royals

●Royal Challengers Bangalore

●Sunrisers Hyderabad

Chennai Super Kings:

Chennai Super Kings has had quite a journey in the IPL series. The team has not only won the IPL tournament three times but it has also bagged the Champions league title twice. With MS Dhoni as its backbone, CSK has been pretty much ruling the tournament from its inception.

It has got some really good matured players, who have an experience of playing in all scenarios such as Suresh Raina, M.S. Dhoni, Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis. They also have a pretty decent bowling team with players like Lungi Ngidi, Mitch Santner, Mohit Sharma, Deepak Chahar and David Willey in the team.

Mumbai Indians:

The Mumbai Indians Team is definitely the crowd's favourite. It had Sachin Tendulkar playing for the team which automatically got the expectations of the fans going. However, despite a great team and performance, the Mumbai Indians Team couldn’t win the trophy for the first six seasons.

However, things were not the same when Rohit Sharma took the responsibility as a captain of the team. Under his leadership, the Mumbai Indians Team went on to become champions of IPL for not only once or twice but three times. Mumbai Indians claimed the IPL tournament trophy in 2013, 2015 and 2017 editions of the game.

The history and statistics place Mumbai Indians as one of the most popular and successful teams of the IPL. However, why should it be a crowd favourite this time? Well, similar to the CSK’s team, the Mumbai Indians Team that has been selected for this year’s IPL looks very strong. The best feature about the current team is the perfect blend of experienced and young players. Rohit, De Kock, Bumrah and Behrendroff are expected to play an important role in the team.
